Need help setting up my digital camera as a webcam

[BaconRace]

Hi.

I was wondering if it would be possible to use my Samsung NX500 as a webcam for streaming.
What are the "tools" I would need for this? Is it possible at all?

If I was unclear on anything feel free to ask.

Does it have an HDMI output? If so you just need an HDMI capture card, probably a PCI-e one for the best quality

It has a mini hdmi connector.Any hdmi capture cards you recommend? I don't have room for a Pci-e one so can't get one.

USB might work I Guess, but, going for PCI-e is totally the way to go though....

 

I guess this company makes a thing specifically for that no idea on price

Otherwise any of the Elgado HD60 stuff is probably fine so long as it can handle 1080p 60fps probably
